Ph.D. Program in
Literary and Cultural Studies
A doctoral student must
declare one Primary Area and one Secondary Area chosen from among the
following:
American Studies
Gender Studies
Medieval and Early
Modern Studies
Native American Studies
Theory and Media
With the approval of his
or her Advisory Committee, a student in Literary and Cultural Studies
may choose a Primary Area from the above list and then choose
Composition, Rhetoric, and Literacy as a Secondary Area. A student's
Advisory Committee may also allow a student to choose a Primary Area
from the above list, and to develop a Secondary Area in a discipline
other than English (such as history, philosophy, art history, music
history, etc.), with appropriate graduate level coursework in another
department.
Required
Course Distribution(3 credit hour courses)
One course in Literary Criticism and Theory
This course must be at the 5000 or 6000 level. It must be other than
criticism courses taken for the M.A. If a Ph.D. student has not done
the equivalent of our "Methods of Graduate Study" course at the M.A.
level, then that course may be used to fulfill this requirement. No
directed readings allowed.
Four
courses in Primary Area
All these should be at the 5000 or 6000 level. Only
one may be a directed reading.
Two courses in
Secondary Area
At least one of these must be at the 5000 level. The other may be at
the 4000 level. No directed readings allowed. One Secondary Area course
may be substituted with a 5000 level course outside the Department, in
a discipline closely related to the Primary or Secondary Area. Such a
substitution needs Advisory Committee approval. If a student wishes to
develop a Secondary Area in a discipline other than English, then the
Advisory Committee may require him or her to take two 5000 level
courses, as well as additional graduate courses, outside the
Department.
Three courses,
one each in three different Areas other than Primary and Secondary Areas
At least two of these must be at the 5000 level. The third may be at
the 4000 level. One of these courses may be in Composition, Rhetoric
and Literacy. No directed readings allowed. One of these courses may be
substituted with a 5000 level course outside the Department, in a
discipline closely related to the Primary or Secondary Area; in the
case of a student with a Secondary Area in a discipline other than
English, this substitution may be in that Secondary Area outside the
Department. Such a substitution needs Advisory Committee approval.
